My husband and I went into Secrets at Maroochydore Qld to find a ring for my 60th birthday, the date was 12th March 2026. We were served by the manager of the store Gail, I found one that I loved and it needed to be resized one size bigger, we were told it would be ready in 3 days and happy to do it free of charge, so we paid for the ring and this… Read more
is were the nightmare began. I rang the store on the 19th March as I hadn't received a call to pick my ring up, I spoke with the manger only to be told I didn't tell you 3 days!! It's still at the jewellers. I then received a call from the manager on the 21st March to be told that the jeweller has stated that the ring cannot be resized 1 size, we both couldn't understand why, she recommended to take it somewhere else to have resized, I said no as your jeweller said it couldn't be done, so I asked for a refund. The manager stated she can't do refunds on her EFTPOS machine, refunds can only come from head office but head office can only be contacted via email, they had no way of contacting them by phone. Many phone calls by me over the next 7 days to find out what was happening with my refund, I was given so many excuses by the manager and was getting quite upset as my birthday had been and gone and still no ring. Then the CEO got involved and he stated that the ring can be resized so I was given the option or refund or resize, I decided I loved the ring and was told that they would fast track resizing as a priority. Two weeks later I got a call to say ring is ready to collect and it would be $120 I told the lady I was told by the manager ring was being resized for free, she went away and came back and said ok we can charge you $60 instead. I asked to speak to the manager, with my dealings with the manager over the last month with multiple cals and discussions I would of thought she'd remember everything but was told she vaguely remember.i was so upset and was told to come get the ring for free and she hung up the phone. This is a very short version as there were plenty of other conversations between the manager and myself and I also wrote an email to head office which I have had no reply. I have purchased 4 rings from Secrets over the years and have been so happy with them and always get comments of how beautiful they are but I will never ever buy or promote this brand ever again with what I was put through .
Absolutely love secrets by amaar, the girls in there are so nice and accommodating. I love all there pieces. I got my engagement ring from them, and they went into so much detail and pride. The ignite rang I was able to customise my own ring! picking out all the small details and choosing a lab gown Dimond from Dubai!!! LOVE LOVE and will be back for more! Show details

My elderly father purchased an engagement and wedding ring for my mother s 70th birthday. A first time for her to have diamonds. Three in the engagement ring and several in the wedding band. two and a half years later a large diamond in the engagement ring fell out and four in the band. Took the rings into the Maroochydore store where [Name… Read more
Removed] was fabulous. I was told that the rings would take three weeks to return with new stones at a cost of $100 per ring. Week upon week of communication to [Name Removed] who constantly reassured me that they would be back soon but communication with the company was difficult for her as she could only contact them via email and they took days to respond to her. Well fast forward five months. The rings are not returned yet and the consistent emails I now get from this unempathetic woman [Name Removed] are as follows: The rings are damaged and the engagement ring will be now over 200 dollars to repair. The wedding ring is irreparable and requires recycling. And any resolution offered comes at a financial benefit to this company. More money to them. My mother is devastated beyond belief as she has looked after those rings as they are so precious to her, and due to her age she is not active enough to damage a good quality product. However, this is where it is interesting. The product in question on this review page is not coming across as a good product with the same complaints being aired on every review about lost stones. Unfortunately, it looks to be the in the workmanship of this store and not doing general household chores as insinuated. Thank God i took photos of the rings as did [Name Removed]. This is beyond devastating for a company to be so cold and calculating and definitely not the service of a good reputable company. I have uploaded the rings given to mum on her 70th and two and a half years later photos. Also a couple of the hundreds of reviews on the quality of the product in question.

I had such a lovely experience going in trying on lots of different style rings and the gorgeous Julie was so pleasant and helpful. I purchased a stunning ring and I’m so happy!!! On my way out a pair of earrings caught my eye too, so I thought, why not? Lol. I will definitely be going back to the Chadstone store soon. Loved it! Show details
Do not buy from here. They are literally under administration. I bought a ring 10 days ago (4 of those days were sitting under the Christmas tree) so 6 days of use. Took it off for showers and bed etc and a stone has already fallen out! Called them and said it needs to be sent to the jewellers for assessment, however they are not accepting anymore… Read more
claims. So now I have no options. How are they still allowed to be open to trade?! This was a $1500 ring and I have had jewellery from Lovisa last far longer than this!!!

My partner and I were looking for wedding rings over the weekend and went into a few jewellers but Judy and Josh from the Harbour Town store made our experience in finding the perfect ring so pleasant and easy! We loved every minute and felt excited to have finally found the one. Show details
Chelsea from the Sydney CBD store was outstanding. She was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and went above and beyond. You could tell she really enjoyed her job and she is to be commended. I ended up buying 3 pieces, incl custom pieces and choosing the added insurance piece all became of her. The most outstanding customer service I’ve received in… Read more
a long time. The products themselves are stunning and phenomenal quality for the price you pay! Do yourself a favour and go and see Chelsea and choose 1 or 3 pieces yourself…Highly recommend Secrets to anyone!

I have been buying jewellery from this store for years and I was always told that the stones were diamond stimulants, so when I got a ring and the stone fell out I took it to a jewellery shop to get it put back in and a new claw put on. Only the jeweller told me that it was a cubic zirconia and only worth about $20 and it was going to cost $700 to… Read more
fix the ring. So I took it back to Secrets and they said that they would fix it and put a new stone in for $1200. Last time I ever bought anything from them , so I am not surprised that they went into receivership. The sales people were so sincere about the lie that I wondered if they knew that the stones were cubic zircon or not
Purchased a ring 21/11. It needed a bigger size and was told it would be back Monday week. Called 2/12 and no clue when the ring will be back. 3/12 the ring was a Xmas gift for my wife who has now travelled overseas until Jan 5. Had to purchase an emergency gift as a replacement. Still no ring, and still no clue when it may be returned. Next step… Read more
is to get a refund. Lets see how difficult that will be. Staff seem clueless. No tracking on repairs or adjustments.
Re: Complaint - Highpoint store at 1.57pm (28/11/25)- Obnoxious and intimidating Manager (Male) -would not provide name. I walked into this store and it was very loud with music and the Manager was also very loud talking to a customer. I could not hear myself think. When I asked Manager to “please don’t talk so loudly and lower the music”, he… Read more
screwed his face. This is considered a poor reaction and with no emotional intelligence to a customer who has a medical condition and is sensitive to noise . The Manager thne came over to me into my personal space and attempted to intimidate me. Because of this closeness towards me I asked him to "Move away from my personal space". I wish the Manager made me feel welcome and would of collaborated with me instead he chose to screw his face to another customer. I believe these qualities are not appropriate for a Manager. Actually it is a form of discrimination behaviour from the Manager because of my disability. I will never enter the highpoint store ever again and will tell my friends and family to do the same!.

I was window shopping at my local store. When the lady noticed I had a ring from them, she offered to clean it. Up that’s ok When she returned the ring to me there were 2 stones missing. It’s now been since July 28th 2025 and my ring still has not been returned to me in the condition promised. I’ve been dealing with head office since then and… Read more
still very unhappy with the service I was provided with. Would NOT recommend Secrets Jewelry to anyone. I’m now going to take my ring somewhere else for a second option before taking this further
Gail an amazing staff member at Maroochy Plaza Store. However our dealings overall with the company regarding a faulty ring(our opinion) was very poor. THANKFULLY WE HAD GAIL. Show details
Loved going into the store today… such beautiful product and such helpful people. I had to order on line due to my skinny fingers and it was such an easy task. I can’t wait to have my ring show up - as it’s a unique piece due to size… it will be shipped directly to my door. I have loved and purchased pieces from Secrets for the past 15 years… Read more
and highly recommend them. Divine pieces for such a good price. Lucky for me this purchase was done while there was a 20% discount…. Win win for me… highly recommend!
Buyer beware very poor craftsman ship I bought a ring from secrets one of the stones fell out I had to pay to get it fixed the following year the same stone fell out again, once again I was told to pay for it again and I quote the regional manager said buying new Jewellery from them is like getting a car serviced it is always going to be a cost,… Read more
nothing is under any warranty not even there own workmanship. Never buying from them again. It’s rubbish jewellery poorly made and continues to cost you money to fix up stones that continually fall out
I visited the Pacific Fair store looking to buy a chain. The sales person convinced me to buy a pendant as well. She put them on me and assured me the looked as good as any genuine product. I wore them home and when I looked in my home mirrors I did not like them at all. The next day I went back and was refunded for the pendant. On the way… Read more
home I realised I had forgotten to also give them the chain, The next day I was going to Robina so I took the chain there. The girl said she could not return from another store. Lie 1 So I had to go to Pacific Fair. The girl would nor refund because she knew I worn it home and was no longer covered. I pointed out that she put it on me and said nothing about it voiding any warranty. Still she refused. Today I rang Head Office and reported my issue. They rang Pac Fair girl and she still is refusing and said that I had been wearing the chain. Lie 2 This has escalated to Regional Manager and I now have to wait for that response. My pursuit of this is not just about the cost but that this person has not only lied but has been misleading and deceptive. Very very disappointed in the integrity shown throughout this provess.
Secrets are currently working to resolve this matter.
DO NOT BUY JEWELLERY FROM THIS COMPANY. I had an appalling experience with this company. My fiancé wore her engagement ring for a week before it bent out of shape with one of the diamonds popping out. She hadn't done anything to it and was extremely careful with it. I took it back to get assessed and the jeweller said that it was our fault and… Read more
they would not cover any charges. They wanted me to pay $435 to get it fixed. Not to mention I paid over $100 for a 3 year care plan when I bought the ring. The store manager said she spoke to the regional manger, the owner and the jeweller and all of them said it was my fault and they would not offer anything to me. The regional manager even called me and said he wouldn't offer a discount or compensation of any kind. He told me that my fiancé is just going to have to be more careful next time. This was extremely rude and I cannot believe that they didn't take any sort of accountability. I ended up just taking the ring back and buying a new one from another store because I never want to deal with this company again.

Lindsey and Nes are incredible in their customer service and go above and beyond.

Lindsey gave the best advice to gov eus the best deal and I have a replacement ring set I am in love with everytime I look at them. Thank you Linda. You have a customer for life in me. Hayley Maree
Having visited the Chadstone store with absolutely no idea what to get my mum for Mother’s Day, I was shown a beautiful range of very well priced jewelry by Lindsey. I ended up purchasing a gorgeous pair of earrings and my mum loved them. For anyone who is unsure what they want to buy or needs to view before purchasing, I could not recommend the lovely ladies at Chadstone enough Show details · 1
I purchased a ring from pacific fair store on 01 March. They didn’t have it in stock but [Name Removed] advised they had one available in the Sydney store that could arrive within 7 days. I paid for the ring on the day. 8 days later I received a call to say the ring was not in stock at Sydney anymore (blaming online stock being incorrect), and… Read more
that she would order it to be custom made and it will arrive in 5-7 weeks. After 9 weeks, I call the store and [Name Removed] is confused asking to call me back. She calls back saying “I’m so sorry I have no excuse I missed this email… but they sent me an email back saying they don’t have it in stock, on a day I wasn’t working and i did not see this email. They haven’t started making the yet, I’m so sorry this is all my fault. Do you still want the ring?”.
After already being inconvenienced with 2 fake promises, [Name Removed] says I will “custom” order it now for you and it will arrive in 5-8 weeks. I do not recommend this company. Customer service and respect is horrendous. I’ll be going into the store tomorrow to request a full refund for this horrible experience.
Edit: after calling the store to ask for a full refund and cancel of the item. I was told it was too late to cancel as the order had already been sent off to an external supplier. Eventually was told I could get a full refund once the ring arrives in the store (which is another 5-8 weeks away). That makes no sense from a business pov to custom make an item that is going to be refunded upon arrival.

Sent my wedding band off for repairs, was called by the jeweller and quoted a price for the repair, I told them to go ahead. Didn’t hear for ages, called to follow up and was told there was a delay, after about 6 or 7 weeks I get a call to say my ring is ready. Just went in to collect it and was told it couldn’t be repaired and it is now damaged.… Read more
I believe the jeweller who initially said they could fix it has damaged it when doing the repair- it’s all very dodgy!

I had a lovely experience with ‘Lyndsey ‘ and ‘Ness’. They were both so friendly and helpful, taking the time to chat about different jewellery styles and what suits various occasions. Their insights really helped me choose a ring that feels just right for me. I truly appreciate their excellent customer service. Show details
I purchased a bracelet and the clasp broke secrets replaced it but with less gold in between the stones what a bunch of cheats do not shop with these people CARMA WILL COME BACK AT YOU IT NEVER FAILS Show details
Complete rip off, poor quality, deceptive sales and marketing – If I could give zero or minus stars I would. Purchased a ring in 2011 on holidays in Perth, told by salesperson that the "diamonds" were lab grown, as hard as natural diamond and could be treated the same. Lost it's shine quickly, scratched, dull and not at all attractive within a few months. Eventually took it in to a secrets store in Brisbane… Read more
to be told "oh, no, that's not true, they wouldn't have told you that". They replaced the stone (which was upsetting because of the sentimental value) but it was exactly the same, looked terrible really quickly and no further replacements. My husband also purchased a pair of "diamond and pearl" earrings for me as a surprise, worn twice and fell apart. I would not recommend this company at all based on the poor quality for the price, and their deceptive tactics.
Lied to when purchasing a "man made diamond" which turned out to be cubic zirconia – Have purchased a number of items from this company. When I purchased the jewellery quite a few years ago, I was told that the stones were the same as a diamond and could not be distinguished from a natural diamond. The only difference was they were man made , using the same compound as diamond. The 2.5 carat solitaire ring never did have the… Read more
same shimmer as a diamond, once it left the store. I would be constantly cleaning it so that it wasn't dull. Years later I find out that the stones are not anything like a real diamond. They now state on their website, if you look really close in the fine print, that they are cubic zirconia. What I was told in store was either a blatant lie, or the staff had been given false information from management. The diamond wedding ring that I purchased, had stones fall out, and I returned it to store. It took quite a few weeks to get it back (a lot longer than promised) and before I had left the shopping centre after picking it up, the stone had fallen out again. I was told that I could not get a refund, only a store credit, so I have now spend that credit on more fake jewellery that I don't really want. I would suggest that you save your money that you were planning on a cubic zirconia purchase, and spend it on a lab grown diamond that will keep its sparkle, and is the same chemical compound as diamond. The only other thing to do with your fake Shh Secrets ring is to clean it and keep in the box, and it might retain a little sparkle.

Deceptive & Misleading Guarantees & Policies – We bought earrings as a present and 2 days later wanted to change them for a more expensive pair, and planned to buy more gifts. The earrings had not even been gifted yet, still in the box. The same salesperson, Sheshir, explained that there is no exchange or refund on earrings. Turns out, this policy is buried in their lengthy 30 Day Change of… Read more
Mind Guarantee on their site. No sign in the shop. If we’d been advised at the time of purchase we’d have bought a pendant or bracelet, so it could be exchanged by the giftee. Stupid policy, terrible customer service, I had been a loyal customer, even though the stones do fall out of the rings, and you have to pay to have them repaired, but I now would never shop at a Secrets-Shhh again. Luckily my daughter-in-law was happy with the earrings.
Resize gone wrong - unwearable * EDITED – I am currently awaiting resolution of incorrectly fitted/resized rings - they are 1 whole size too big and can't be resized again OR worn without plastic or a rubber ring at the back that gives me dermatitis. The only resolution comes at additional cost to me and the store is denying they have any accountability in the issue - but they did offer… Read more
to melt my original rings down and give me 30% off a custom design .... and keep the ill fitted situation i am dealing with!!! I have been chasing the store and head office repeatedly for weeks and am gutted that something I waited ages for has turned into such a disappointment. Whilst the jewellery is pretty this is ridiculous and I wish I'd never gone there. Devestated doesn't come close !!
Edit : I eventually was able to speak with an appropriate manager after prolonged calls and emails - i explained the issues and where I was at in terms of taking further action. They have since remembered my finger and remade a new set of rings which fit perfectly. It was disappointing to go through the chase game but the outcome is appreciated as the rings are beautiful.
Won't buy from secrets shhh again – The quality of the gold is bad, I bought earrings had them exchanged, as the stones kept falling out and it was found that the gold had fractures in it. The claws that held the stones kept breaking. It has happened again and they expect me to pay for fixing this time. I wore them three times.
